The Clinton Comets will venture away from home to square off against the Little Falls Mounties at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Clinton took a nine-run defeat the last time they faced off against Mt. Markham, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Comets narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Mustangs 5-4. Surprisingly, this marked the fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor in this series.
AJ Capponi spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 13 Ks.
On the hitting side, Clinton's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Cam Maxam, who went 1-for-3 with one run.
Meanwhile, Little Falls posted their closest win since April 23, 2025 on Wednesday. They had just enough and edged out Herkimer 8-6. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Mounties.
The team relied heavily on Caiden Perkov, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. William Rogers was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Clinton suffered a grim 23-1 defeat to Little Falls when the teams last played back in May of 2025. Can the Comets avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
